Etihad Airways is preparing to launch seasonal summer flights from Abu Dhabi to the beautiful and historic Egyptian city of Alexandria, one of oldest continuously-inhabited locations in the world and home to the Great Library of Alexandria and one of the ancient world wonders, the Pharos Lighthouse.

This famous coastal city is
also a convenient gateway for many of the Egyptian expatriates living in the
UAE and planning to return home during the summer holidays.

Between 2 July and 31 August,
the Airbus A320 flights will depart Abu Dhabi at 2.15pm every Tuesday,
Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, arriving in Alexandria at 4:00 pm. Return
flights will depart Alexandria at 4:50pm, arriving back in Abu Dhabi at 10:40.

Robin Kamark, Chief Commercial
Officer, Etihad Aviation Group, said: “Alexandria is one of the most popular
holiday destinations for UAE residents, and our new seasonal flights are timed
to provide access for tourists during the peak summer period. They will also be
a convenient option for many of the Egyptian nationals living in the UAE and
planning to return home during the holiday season.”

With
the addition of these seasonal services, Etihad will operate a total of 32
flights per week to Egypt - 28 flights to Cairo and four to Alexandria. For
